Tower said no. I'm sure there is some AFI that says no war without proper flight plans and CBT completion.

One time at everyones favorites flag location, over a billion dollars worth of airplanes with engines running were prevented from taking off because the fax machine at baseops was down.

Probably up to unit and wing leadership with AFPC functional approval. I know of an officer that extended an overseas gig twice.

Jelly of the Month club for you.

What's more amazing is someone found a way to get something for free on a Ryanair flight.

I saw one almost drag a wingtip a few years back.

You said dildo 3 times. Very unprofessional.

Here is the approval rating of Congress. Quite apparent they give fu*k all.

I am not a big fan of formal education with the GPA to prove it. My way to mitigate that is rock all of the other areas that the AF looks at. It has worked well for me.

I laugh quite a bit every time I hear AF "pilot shortage". There is no shortage of pilots wanting to fly planes in the AF. There's a shortage of the AF placing those pilots in jobs that allow them to be pilots, and to teach other pilots. There's plenty of bag wearers sitting at group level positions, in staff jobs, at IDE, etc staring at a computer screen. I've flown less than 200 hours a year the last 3 years as an experienced MWS instructor because the AF values keeping the self fellating bureaucratic process running more that it values flight experience. Senior Capts and junior majors are begging to be 'allowed' to get back to teaching the young pilots, only to be told that they're more valued behind a desk. No thanks, see ya, welcome aboard Delta 4962, non stop to Chicago.

This song was found in a box of papers in the squadron. Also in this box was some stuff from Castle AFB and a manual on how to be an AC in SAC. In 1974, Mr. Elmer W. Martin Jr. penned "The Ballad of the -135", and it was just as appropriate for 1984 as it was ten years before. To the tune of "This Old House". The Ballad of the -135 This old tank won't last much longer, This old tank won't fly much more, Aint got time to load much water, Aint got time to trim all four; Aint got time to pour the oil That keeps running out all four; Aint gonna need this tank much longer, Aint gonna pass the gas much more. This old tank won't take the water, Struts are leaking, tires poor, Keep getting scratches on the windows, Holes are showing 'round the doors; Rudders creaking, cables wearing, Corrosions eating up the floor; This old tank won't last much longer, Push it through that phase just once more. Radar screen just sits and flashes, Doppler seldom works much more; Sextants all have 90 C.E.s, HF sounding mighty poor; TACAN sits there sad and spinning, Center reads us one by four; This old tank won't fly much longer, Red X showing more and more. But the parts keep right on coming, And they cannonball for more; And those ghostly orders echo- "Put her up again once more!" As the B-1 lands the last time, And it's crew looks out the door; There's the tanker there to meet them, It will get them home once more. No this tank won't fly much longer, No this tank won't fly much more, But you know it will fly however, Or that's how SAC sees the score. So keep those maintenance troops a pushing Round the clock, or maybe more, 'Cause this bird has got a mission, Can't buy a late time anymore. So the next time you must fly her, Gently push up one through four; As you carefully check the EPeRs, Push the water switch once more; And as the overrun passes 'neath you And you pull her up once more, Thank God it won't fly much longer, And pray you'll land once more!

I love military flying but despise big blue. If I had to do it all over again, ANG or reserves. 10 years is a long ADSC and a lot can change over that time.

What companies are you guys using for squadron nametag orders besides Mardon? We're done with their 1995 business model and continually screwed up orders.

The tail is wagging the dog.

I use Vodafone in the UK and it is fine for the rest of the EU. I pay a small fee for service/mo on a prepaid sim card ($13). The stated rate for travel in the EU zone is something like £3 a day, but in reality I've spent about £5 for a week on the continent. Plus, anywhere you go, hotels, restaurants are going to have free WiFi. One thing to look at is downloading an offline map program. You can download the maps of where you are going ahead of time and save a lot of data.

Very interesting times. I've heard this being compared to the biggest thing to happen in Europe since the fall of the wall in 89, especially when considering the after effects. If the UK leaving has resulted in this much turmoil, to me it means a few things. One, the EU was very dependent on the UK. Two, the UK is a strong country and economic power. Trade deals will be renegotiated, measures will be made for those UK citizens working in the EU and vise versa. There will not be mass deportations of working people across the EU. The EU has a lot to lose and very little to gain by 'punishing' the UK. If Scotland decides to leave the UK, they will become another Greece in the EU.
